Visitors can help to lift a patient’s spirits and speed recovery, but hospitalized patients also need plenty of rest. We encourage visitors to observe the guidelines of specific patient care areas. Questions can be directed to the unit’s nurse manager.
- Bringing children to visit
Because some nursing area’s visiting hours may vary, please check with your nurse. When accompanied by adult, children under 12 years of age may visit between 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Children must be supervised at all times. Doctors may also limit visitation hours in any area for medical reasons.
